2.2. Opening a user-defined project

If you have started RealView Debugger, you can begin to use many features of the debugger, for example editing source code and building projects. However, to begin debugging images you must connect to a suitably configured debug target.

The examples in this section assume that you are using a Typical installation and that the software has been installed in the default location. If you have changed these defaults, or set the environment variable RVDEBUG_INSTALL, your installation differs from that described here.

Note

It is not necessary to connect to a debug target to follow these examples. However, they include instructions to make a connection, using RealView ICE Micro Edition (RVI-ME), to demonstrate how RealView Debugger binds projects. A similar procedure may be used for an RVI unit.

To open an existing user-defined project:

  1. Start RealView Debugger.

  2. Select File → Connection → Connect to Target... from the main menu to display the Connection Control window to make your first connection. For details on using this window, see the chapter describing how to connect to targets in RealView Developer Kit v2.2 Debugger User Guide.

  3. Connect to your target using RVI-ME.

  4. Select Project → Open Project... from the default Code window main menu. This displays the Select Project to Open dialog box.

  5. Locate the required project settings file from the \Examples directory, that is \dhrystone\dhrystone.prj, and click Open to load the project details into RealView Debugger.

    The project directory becomes the current working directory. This enables you to find new source files, or to set up build options more quickly.
